Don't be a pussy, don't be a dick

Insofar, 'take the lane' have been my chosen quote, would love to hear anything better.

To me that sounds a lot like:

"Don't be a pussy, just be a dick"

I regularly see cyclists in the "primary position" when they could either be closer to the edge, or in the centre (depending on upcoming turning direction) and are basically just being fucking selfish and inconsiderate. The common claim drivers make about cyclists "acting like they own the road" is often true. However, like I said I think this is more ignorance and lack of consideration for other road users, rather thank just being a bunch of cunts.

Be assertive but sensible, seems to cover it for me, use your common sense/instinct...

although saying that, it would seem the majority of road users have neither of these things, so maybe try something else

Agreed on both counts. But I like "be sensible, be assertive" or "Confident but Considerate", but the former has a bit more strength.

Confident but Considerate...

TBH most of my problems come from peds. On the whole I don't really have a problem with cars (famous last words) and recently I've had some very positive experiences of people being especially considerate. Equally I'm not a dick when I ride, so I'd like to think it's karma.
